2 New Banana Bread Recipes

So it really is tough to come up with new banana bread recipes that I haven’t shared with you guys. I swear this blog could be titled the Banana Bread Blog : ) But with a bunch of brown bananas, I was up for the challenge.

I had motivation too! We had our last week of tennis lessons at the park district, and I wanted to bring sometime to say thank you to our pro. I also wanted something to serve to our overnight guests this past weekend.

This first recipe adds in one of banana’s favorite companions. Chocolate!

With chocolate swirled throughout, it makes a beautiful marbled bread and also a great gift!

I was only sad that I couldn’t dig right in. It seems wrong to bring a loaf of bread as a gift with a slice missing!

While bread number one was cooling, I got started on making my second loaf. Since I’m a huge gingerbread fan and still have robust molasses in the pantry, I was excited to use it again.

This bread smells delightful and puffs up beautifully!

I was thankful to be able to slice off a bite to try.

I am a huge fan of this flavor combination!

This bread froze well and I loved eating another slice smothered with almond butter yesterday.

Both breads looked and smelled wonderful! Perfect to heat up these cool end of winter days!

Mix in banana, butter and molasses until well blended, about 2 minutes on medium speed. Stir in eggs until well combined.

Pour into loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool in the pans for about 15 minutes, then continue cooling on wire racks. When completely cool, gently spoon powdered sugar into a wire mesh strainer, and shake the strainer over the loaves to garnish.

I can always count on your blog to deliver some delicious banana bread recipes, and these two are no exception. I especially love the idea of banana gingerbread. I’m a huge gingerbread fan, so I’ll definitely be trying your recipe! Thanks for sharing :)
